The title to the post is misleading. It should be "closer to human-like
machine-intelligence". I say this because the author equates intelligence
with human intelligence and I have never heard Jeff say his goal was human
intelligence. I agree that human intelligence will require much more than
scaling up a slice of the neocortex, but that misses the point.

Using the principals of the operation of the neocortex to guide the
building of machines that learn will reap incredible rewards and profoundly
change our relationship to our world and will force us to re-think the
nature of intelligence, human or otherwise. That's good enough for me.
